con artists that forge art and wine to sell to rich snobs for millions of dollars: cool, good

con artists that target marginalized groups and harass and make legal threats against people calling them on it: guillotine

A lot of them probably wouldn't last at your job

Last year I had an internship at a fancy office during the day, and a food service job at night. One of the ladies at the office told me she needed a part-time job for some extra cash, and I let her know about an opening in my food service job, described what would be expected, all of that.

Guys. She quit after one (1) shift, called me the next day, and ranted, “You never told me it was going to be that hard, is that what you do every night?! I’m not 20 anymore, I’m 50, I can’t believe they only pay you $9.50/hr to do all that work!” [For the record, I had coworkers who were 65+]

She was shocked when I explained that yeah, most food service jobs require you to stock heavy boxes, work the register, and learn to cook/prep food, then clean up before you go home. It never occurred to her that people who “just flip burgers” actually have demanding jobs.

“I’m going to have to be extra nice to those people from now on!” Like yeah, no shit?

I’ve told this story before I’m sure, but when I got my first office job and escaped retail hell, I tended to stay at my desk on my breaks. My manager, well-meaning, passed by and reminded me to make sure I took my breaks and got up and got away from my desk regularly.

I kinda laughed and said “Tanya, I worked retail before this. This entire job is a break, to me. I get to sit down all day. Just let me enjoy that.”

And I still think about it sometimes when I’m in the breakroom in the morning. How I have the unspeakable luxury to take my coffee cup, go to the kitchen, wash the cup out, pour myself a new cup of coffee, chat with coworkers if anyone’s in the breakroom while I’m doing that, and then head back to my desk before I really *start* my day. Without worrying that I’m going to get in trouble or be seen as slacking off. As opposed to the rushed “toss your purse in a locker, clock in, and get out on the floor and start cleaning things/helping customers/fixing signage/etc.” start-of-shift routine from my retail days.

When I switched from retail to a job that used my degree, I didn’t know what to DO with my suddenly hour-long lunch. I had to un-learn snarfing my food so fast I got hiccups. I slowly realized I had time to *drive* somewhere to get lunch sometimes instead of bringing food from home or walking to the restaurant next door. Everything slows down when you’re not in retail/food industry, and it’s endlessly frustrating how people who never worked it treat those industries as “lazy” and “inferior” and “not a REAL job”. It is, real, HARD, work, and the people in it who aren’t physically ill from stress are superhuman.

OKAY YEAH I REMEMBER THIS ONE Basically it came from a survey done by Bank of America. Of only their customers. Of only those customers that had a long term savings account with them. And only surveyed 1500 of them. And that, friends, is how statistics is used to lie!!

pangurbean

Always ask who ran the survey, the study, the poll, ask how many people were involved, and ask about the breakdown of the demographics.

lovelivingmydreams

As someone who had to study statistics, this is important to know. So important that it’s one of the first things they taught me. “You can prove anything with statistics.”

Um… how the fuck is there a lure on an unreachable pokestop? Like, I’m watching this thing, and there are no boats near it. Why is there a stop even out there?

fuckboyzuko

I mean, I have a kayak at home. I could go get it and paddle out there just to see what the deal is. Is it worth it?

fuckboyzuko

I AM FUCKING DOING THIS.

fuckboyzuko

I am literally sitting here in a kayak catching pokemon, and I still can’t figure out how someone got a lure on this pokestop. It’s just me out here, no other boats, like what the hell. People on the shore are staring at me. I can feel them judging me for actually paddling out to this pokestop. GOTTA CATCH EM ALL.

fuckboyzuko

When I got back to the shore, a guy asked me if he could borrow my kayak to get the pokestop, and now I’m charging people $10 a pop to use it.

Pokemon is amazing this is like those moments when you would play the games and you gotta use “Surf” to see what item’s on the sandbar across the way

My first instinct was to dismiss this as a fabrication but then i remembered that summer 2016 was just like that

I miss summer 2016. It felt like an innocent fun time.
